Mercy Care For Kids

Our family is incredibly thankful to have this daycare facility for our children. My husband and I both work full time and finding excellent caregivers that could help us raise our children was important to us. There are several aspects of this daycare that make it fun and educational for children and convenient for parents (and I will list them), but after having our three children go through MFCK starting from infancy we have found that the best things about this daycare are the way they run the facility to put the best interest of the children first and their impressive ability to hire teachers that genuinely love our children and are excellent role models for them. The building has a warm welcoming environment and our children look forward to their days there. The things that we love about this daycare include (1) higher than normal adult to child ratio in infant room because of the volunteer program they have for a specially selected “grandma” to come in and help hold and rock babies during the day, (2) three beautifully designed playground areas for children of different ages, (3) program for preschoolers to periodically interact with children in a nearby special needs school, (4) program for preschoolers to periodically visit nearby nursing home and do activities with the seniors, (5) flexible pick up and drop off hours, (6) nutritionist designed menu for children with food provided so no need to pack lunches, (7) extremely rare to close on snow days due to association with hospital, (8) excellent special event planning for children, (9) the way they move all the children up to the next room together every year so they stay with a familiar group of friends. This isn’t the easiest daycare to get in to, but the peace of mind you will have knowing that your children are in a safe, secure, loving, and fun environment is worth the extra effort to get in. The cost of the child care is also very reasonable, especially considering the dedication of the teachers, inclusion of meals and snacks, cleanliness of the facilities, and quality of the educational programming.

Out of all the day cares in the capital region your money is best spent here. Your kids will be loved, nurtured, and have the best learning experiences. There is no dollar amount to put on those things. Mercy is simply the best, the Albany Academy of daycare.

Cannot say enough great things about MCFK. Highly, highly recommend this center.
